Lost dreams are linked across time! A virtual reprint of the 'Missing Link' series that may have existed in that era. In the 12th installment, the commander of the dinosaur corps Dinobot, "Grimlock", appears!
In 1985, the Dinobots gained popularity with a new twist in which five legions transforming into mecha dinosaurs participated in the Cybertron Corps, which had been composed mainly of members who transformed into cars.
Its commander, Grimlock, has appeared with a completely new design with a missing link with a number of more functions.
Grimlock transforms from a mecha-type Tyrannosaurus to a robot.
While the configuration using die-casting is partially maintained, it is now possible to freely pose with movable joints in both forms.In addition, the colorful mechanical details that were reproduced with stickers in the old toy are reproduced with three-dimensional sculptures and detailed coloring.
The included weapon "Saber" is silver-plated in the image of the DIACLONE era, and the shape with a sharp tip is reproduced with hard plastic.
In addition, two types of handheld guns, "Double Laser Gun" and "Missile Launcher", are also included, and the missiles in the missile launcher can be attached and removed for image play by removing the firing function.
Like the C-11 Delta Magnus, a female "human" figure is also included, and the cockpit hatch on the back of the dinosaur can be opened to board it.
The robot body also has a "secret emblem" attached, and when you warm it with your finger, the legion mark will appear.
The back of the robots is equipped with a joint hole for the stand, which is sold separately, and can be decorated with an action pose.
The package illustration is newly drawn with the image of that time, and a collection card is also included.
